Do you also get a 403 Forbidden if you browse to http://{server}/svn/ as opposed to http://{server}/svn (so, adding a trailing slash)?

You might need to add a trailing slash to your Location block in the httpd.conf:
<Location /svn/>
...
</Location>

Following mailinglist thread may also be helpful (contains also a workaround for the Forbidden when the request does not contain a trailing slash):
